Mission Science definition
MMS SMART mission stand for Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) and Solving Magnetospheric Acceleration, Reconnection, and Turbulence,(SMART). On February 15-17, 2006, J Burch and B Gibson of the MMS/SMART Team at Southwest Research Institute joined members of the SMART/FPI Team at in Tokyo, Japan to meet with to Talk about I new project that NASA assigned to the Intuited in San Antonio, Texas. Then they agreed that Japans Aerospace Meisei Electric Company would provide the Southwest Research Institute with all the electronically supplies.
Scientific Goals for the SMART Mission
- Primary Goal:
The primary goal for the SMART mission MMS has to do with Reconnection. What reconnection is a system use to tell that magnetic fields lines that are different from magnetic domains are join together. Which is the opposite of what actual law of plasma physics.

- Secondary Goal: A particle accelerator is a device that uses electric and/or magnetic fields to propel electrically charged particles to high speeds. There are two types: linear accelerators and circular accelerators
- Design Features: These four spacecrafts are about 10km apart from each other. NASA will launch this spacecraft in 2013 so the Southwest Research Institute has to work hard to there deadline.
